These are the words for my Advice From Home quilt I'm making for the
House, home and pantry quilt together challenge. I'm trying to limit my motherly advice to one word at a time. I've come up with these so far. At one point I was thinking about limiting my advice to four words: Brush (your teeth, hair), Flush (the toilet, clean up after yourself) Rush (move on to the thing you're supposed to be doing) and Hush (use your inside voices, stop fighting). But I kept on going with other advice, and I've got a few more I'll do.
Here's some more words for my work in progress, Words Fail me. Words enlighten me, puzzle me, fascinate me. Making words is still fun, although "enlighten" took piles of black fabric. When the words are so long, I need lots of quarter inch strips for spacing, as well as longer, wider strips to frame them. "Enlighten" is 4.5 inches wide and about 29 wide. I find upper case also takes more space, and I'm not happy with the blocky "Ns". But I'm not changing them. I think I may be almost done with making the words for this project. Counting these, I have 16 verbs to fill in the sentence "Words _____ me."

Wow! What a lot of words! I was surprised at how much fabric it takes to do the backgrounds on words. And how little is wasted. You can always use the little bits in the next word.
words surround me... words astonish me... words comfort me...
Love what you're doing!
You clever gal, you! These are all great! I have not tried these letters, my loss.
"Words entertain me" .. because I LOVE to play Scrabble!
your words are all turning out so wonderfully! Being a more visual person then word person, I struggle to come up with the "right" words to use ina quilt...
That's a lot of words! Your plan for the new quilt reminds me of a quilt made some time ago by another mother. She embroidered (I think) all the things she wanted her kid to remember on her quilt. Great ideas!
wow, love how both these projects are coming along. the call home is sweet.
"Words fascinate me". Like Elaine I'm a Scrabble freak.
Great work.
whoa, that is a lot of words all right- love the concept
love the advice quilt. My tongue this vocabulary very well! did you wash your hands? brush your teeth? comb your hair, over and over and over... maybe one more that says, do you have socks on? where's your shes? got y our backpack? ;-)
